    The V20 has been described by no less than Ken Kessler as Tim de Paravicini's finest moment. It's a really interesting amplifier: it uses 12AX7 valves, which are pre-amp valves, as output valves. 10 each side (hence the name!) This offers 24 WPC, and the quietest valve amp I have ever come across.

    I bought this off Central Audio a year or so ago; he had two in stock and gave me the better one. It had just been serviced, with a few valves replaced etc, so it is sounding fantastic. I'll leave it to the reviews to describe the sound; all are suitably gushing.

    Price? New price is just over £4,700; I'm looking for about £1,400.

    I have no box, so pickup (Central London) is preferred. I will happily post anywhere in the EU, the US or other first world countries, although you will have to wait for a new box to arrive from EAR. Weight of the parcel will be about 25kg.
